Tips:
- Make sure the tilapia fillets are completely dry before applying the seasoning. This ensures that the spices adhere properly to the fish.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best results. It retains heat well and helps achieve that perfect blackened crust.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the tilapia. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even blackening.
- Keep an eye on the cooking temperature. The skillet should be hot enough to char the spices but not so hot that it burns them.
- Serve the tilapia immediately after cooking for the best flavor and texture. Pair it with fresh lemon slices for an extra burst of citrus.
